How's the handle and the strap in your opinion? We heard others say the handle was flimsy and the chain was very small. Still contemplating over here.Just picked up my gold mini cav w/ handle and I have to say, I’m a bit...shocked at how dark the gold is :/ Especially compared to the pics online. Definitely pulls more of a fall, Metiers gold than a spring/summer gold IMO. Gonna take a few days to think on it, as it does have a lot of pluses—but right now, I’m not sure she’s a keeperMaybe I’ll do a poll on IG like I did with the silver one, haha. Anyway, thoughts? TIA!

Color is odd. It looks like it has a green undertone almost. Maybe because of the lighting when you took the pic. It does look nice on you! But I still dont like the look in general. The chain is too flimsy for my liking.Just picked up my gold mini cav w/ handle and I have to say, I’m a bit...shocked at how dark the gold is :/ Especially compared to the pics online.

Did you think the medium was neutral toned? I am not into super warm tones and am on the list for the medium. Was it really stunning in person?
thanks for your pics...very helpful!
I do agree! NAT is a Chanel angel for many of us here who are trying to secure a bag directly from store with out having to pay craY over retail price for resellers. Plz do not bash on NAT and she is only one who is very active in helping real customers. Please let us Appreciate her help and her Time! Now back to 21s.... I have been off for while, but Chanel is doing some yummy colors this season specially pinks!
Handle is small but strap seems sufficient. It’s def thinner than the classic mini strap but thicker than the classic WOC strap.
Agree. It’s not the light, bright gold I was expecting and definitely has a greenish undertone like you said *sigh* Thanks for your thoughts!!!
Do you mind clarifying which is which? From the pic I like the one on the right better
I will say it was warmer in person than I expected, but I’m into that for beiges. Could also have been the boutique lighting.
REALLY stunning in person, buy it! Or, sell it to meeeeeeee. Just kidding. Kind of.
To clarify. Is the one you are comparing to the light pink mini? Did you see the light pink iridescent mini in store?
In my country, you have to prepay for thr bag in full to claim a bag and there are no refunds, only store credit. So I will pray to the purse gods to provide a structured perfect one.
It's so similar to the gold ombre Madamoiselle that was released in the mid 2010's. Attaching a picture of my mom's bag, the top part colouring is just like the mini's dark gold with green undertones.
@Tayo Adeyiga Thanks as always for the pictures, you've really helped me in making my decision for the minis. I think I'm gonna go for the silver if they draw my name in the lottery.
I think this is gorgeous and looks amazing on you!Just picked up my gold mini cav w/ handle and I have to say, I’m a bit...shocked at how dark the gold is :/ Especially compared to the pics online.

My home store! I'm really excited about the DC CCDC boutique they are opening soon.
The two minis being compared are the iridescent beige and another light pink lambskin mini. Color code for the lambskin one is NB353.
I did not see the light pink iridescent mini in the store.
They are opening another boutique downtown? That is exciting news!
So I am just reiterating with everyone else, @nat74 is our Chanel fairy godmother. And I know that she really does her best to prioritize her “sisters” and “brothers” on the forum. She is a true Chanel lover and also helps to keep our forum alive! Now back to 21s business!!!!
It seems like this season the SAs are playing a lot of games
